feud over cat, birds and catnapping
By Jessica Wakley
April 19, 2007 | A Logan resident called police to
say his neighbor apprehended his cat and would not give
it back.
Monday, Lionel J. Babbitt-Billie, 443 N. 100 West,
called the Logan Police Station at 4:36 p.m. saying
a neighbor trapped his cat in an animal trap and would
not return it. After discussion the cat was returned,
said Sgt. Louise Speth.
Officer Jacob Boehme went to the neighbor's house
to ask why she wouldn’t return Babbitt-Billie's cat,
said Speth.
The neighbor replied that she was defending birds
by keeping the cat captured.
"She was protecting the birds from what cats
do best," said Speth
Boehme explained the cat could not stay there because
it is illegal to keep someone else's animal on her property.
It seems the neighbors have been arguing for a long
time over this cat, said Speth.
